Women's empowerment in rural Colombia
About 200 miles north of Cali, Colombia lies one of the many villages in the Industrias Integrales project of the federal government of Colombia. A program to empower rural residents, especially women, to make a good living in the villages. There was and is a labor drain as many people have left for large cities with more work opportunities. Yet we believe the soul of the Colombian people is in the villages, the heartbeat of the nation.
As mentioned, this village is populated with hard working people who want to improve their work skills and thereby the life of their families. People are vetted for attitude and passion and come to the factory with no previous knowledge and are taught by experienced and passionate trainers with the highest quality standards.
The factories are equipped with only the best modern machines, no knock offs here. The average age of the machines is 3 years old and the efficiency, cleanliness, and pride in production are truly inspirational. Should be a large orders there are similar facilities set up in six more villages who are also part of this Colombian government program. All the facilities have the social compliances in place and are audited by the Colombian Ministry of Labor. Full confidence can be had with passing pertinent compliances.
